What is the number of protons and electrons in thorium?

Thorium's atomic number is 90. Thus, thorium has 90 protons per atom. To be electrically neutral then, thorium must also have 90 electrons per atom.

Is thorium reactive?

Thorium is a weakly radioactive metal that is not highly reactive compared to other elements like uranium. It is more stable and less prone to oxidation or corrosion, which makes it a potentially safer option for nuclear energy production.


How many electrons does thorium230 have?

Thorium has 90 protons. So for a neutral atom, there has to be 90 electrons. 230 is the total number of nucleons. ie 90 protons and 140 neutrons.


What is the oxidation number of HClO?

For HClO oxidation No. is '0' . It is a neutrally charged molecule. However, The chlorine atom is in oxidation state (+1). How so???? you may ask . Using oxygen as that standard at '-2' , and hydrogen at '+1' We create a little sum +1 + Cl -2 = 0 ( overall charge on the molecule). Collecting terms Cl - 1 = 0 Cl = + 1 as required. NB When dissolved in water chlorine disproportionates. That is it simultaneously oxidises and reduces., Cl2(aq) = Cl^(+)(aq) + Cl^(-)(aq) It reacts with water molecules to form ;- Cl2 + H2O = HClO + HCl The supply of drinking water from public sources has chlorine bubbled through to act as a bacteriocide (kill the bugs). So tap/faucet water is a very weak solution of hydrochloric acid(HCl) and Hydrogen chlorate(bleach)(HClO). It won't harm you, because the solution is so weak, but just enough to kill the bugs.
